Grey_Wolf · 02-06-2006, 04:25 PM

You're correct. You may proceed.

Grey_Wolf · 02-07-2006, 03:21 AM

1.6 - Queen's Park?

Grey_Wolf · 02-07-2006, 04:46 AM

Nice guess, littleadanel, but I was thinking of a centrally placed metro station. Guess again.

sun-star · 02-07-2006, 05:13 AM

Actually there is a tube station called Queen's Park... Is the answer Regent's Park?

1.9 Charing Cross - that's a great clue

Grey_Wolf · 02-07-2006, 06:20 AM

Correct indeed. You may proceed.

And, yeah, I was rather witty there, wasn't I?

I checked thru the entire tube chart and couldn't find Q P. Where is it?

littleadanel · 02-07-2006, 07:57 AM

So in 'park' I was right

twas totally a blind guess though... am most surprised there actually is a Queen's Park. Cuz here it is...

Radagast The Brown · 02-07-2006, 09:43 AM

1.1 Marble Arch?
1.3 Tottenham court road?
1.8 Lancaster Gate?
2.1 the Swiss Re tower? (the gherkin?)

Grey_Wolf · 02-07-2006, 10:10 AM

You're correct indeed, except for 2.1 which is a speciaL spire indeed (an old prison in fact). .

You may proceed.

And thanks, littleadanel, for the map.

Count Comfect · 02-07-2006, 10:25 AM

2.1 Tower of London

The screw may twist and the rack may turn
And men may bleed and men may burn
O'er London Town and its golden hoard
I keep my silent watch and ward.

Grey_Wolf · 02-07-2006, 10:29 AM

Correct indeed, CC, you may proceed.

sun-star · 02-07-2006, 11:31 AM

2.2 - The Royal Family and severly mispronouned past sense of having taken in food.

Windsor Castle and Eton

2.3 - Swedish for "pissed" + Sugar *** Robinson.

Surrey (I assume from the next question)

2.4 - Manufacturer's gathering + shallow wet crossing place.

Guildford

2.5 - Surname of Superman's alias.

Kent (hooray!)

2.6 - Running around + covering with earth. + it has a famous place of worship.

Canterbury

2.7 - to deminish in value + door

Margate

2.8 - Wide steps

Can it be Broadstairs? My very own home town?

2.9 - Earthsorceress

Sandwich

3.0 - Famous for white hard coast.

Dover

How embarrassing if I get any of the Kent ones wrong...

Count Comfect · 02-07-2006, 12:45 PM

2.0 - Collection of memorabilia of the City

Could this be as simple as London Museum?

Grey_Wolf · 02-07-2006, 01:12 PM

Y'r correct on all, Sun-Star & CC. You may proceed.

...part of the country:

1.1 - Right on compass + South male or female. = East Sussex

Count Comfect · 02-07-2006, 02:45 PM

1.7 Brighton
1.1 Wessex?

Grey_Wolf · 02-07-2006, 03:43 PM

You're correct on 1.7, you may proceed.

Sorry (me and left & right, major problem). Right is the correct direction on 1.1.

sun-star · 02-07-2006, 04:59 PM

1.1 East Sussex

1.2 Rye

1.3 Hastings

1.5 Eastbourne

By the way, none of these are actually "cities" except Canterbury and London - they're all towns. It doesn't matter, but it's just funny to hear a tiny town like Broadstairs referred to as a city
